WEEK 4 - 2 Chronicles 7:14 - 'If my people who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.'

Recent statistics show an alarming rise in social ills such as child prostitution, abortion, baby dumping, rape and HIV cases.
a.  Child Prostitution - there are 4,000 child prostitutes between the ages of 9 -18.
b.  Abortion - 1 in 5 pregnancies ends in abortion.
c.  Baby Dumping - a baby is dumped every 10 days.
d.  Rape - in Malaysia, someone is raped every 2.5 hours.  In 2010, there were 3,595 reported rape cases.
e.  HIV - there are 80,938 cases of HIV, 13,000 with AIDS and 10,000 have since died.  An average of 18 Malaysians are tested positive for HIV daily.  40% of total infected are below 29 years of age.

As we stand united in love, let us be sensitive to the cry of the 'voiceless' victims of sexual crimes so that God will intervene and purify this land of such wickedness.

Prayer

• Pray for repentance and healing upon our nation for all the sins and wickedness in the land.
• Pray that we will be burdened by the moral decay and social ills of our nation, that we will rise and war against the spiritual forces behind the violence, crime and immorality.
• Pray for the active involvement of the Local Church in partnering with relevant governmental agencies and ministries to eradicate social ills.
• Pray that those who are marginalised, oppressed and afflicted will come into the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and be restored.
